Tells the story of World War II, Colorado governor Ralph L. Carr (1939-1943) and his fight to insure that Japanese Americans were treated as the American citizens they were. He fought to keep their Constitutional rights in tact. He welcomed Japanese Americans into Colorado at a time when discrimination and racial hatred against the Japanese was at its height. He fought to keep Japanese Americans out of the internment camps set up by the United States government. A camp was built in Southeast Colorado called Granada Relocation Center or better known as Camp Amache. Carr risked and lost his political career because he stood up for his principles that every citizen has the same rights under the U.S. Constitution. |

In How Can China Say No?, Zhang Xueli, a retired vice-principal of the Xian Railway Police Academy, acknowledges China's problems, but contends that the dramatic economic and social achievements of recent years have set in motion a series of irreversible changes in society, polity and the economy. This transformation, he says, "compels" the world to recognize China as a blossoming great power, just as China is forced to better understand the outside world. In answer to the question posed in the title of the book, Zhang argues that China can say no for the simple reason that it is now able to do so. "The meaning of saying no," he says, "is that China should not be belittled or insulted by others." |

"American Born Chinese is a graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. Released in 2006 by First Second Books, it was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Awards in the category of Young People's Literature. It won the 2007 Michael L. Printz Award[1] and the 2007 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album: New. It was the first graphic novel recognized by the National Book Foundation. It was colored by cartoonist Lark Pien, who received the 2007 Harvey Award for Best Colorist for her work on the book. The book starts out with three seemingly different tales, and then merges them all together at the climax. The first tale is the legendary folk tale of The Monkey King, which is renowned all through China and in many parts of Asia. This story is from the Chinese classic novel Journey to the West, but is not the same as the traditional one, it changed some details. This tale includes the Monkey king who is born of stone becoming something that he isn't. While doing this he masters the twelve disciplines of Kung-Fu. The second tale is the story of a second-generation child of immigrants from China named Jin Wang, who still is heavily influenced by Chinese culture. The story follows his life through the making of his best friend, to him falling in love with a girl, and many adventures in between. The third tale follows the story of an American boy named Danny, whose Chinese cousin Chin-Kee comes and visits every year. Chin-Kee is the ultimate Chinese stereotype in terms of accent, fashion sense, hairstyle, appearance, and hobbies. The high school Danny attends is called "Oliphant High School", which Yang has said he named after political cartoonist Pat Oliphant, in response to a comic he took offense to. Many of Chin-Kee's stereotypical quirks are also lifted from this cartoon. Jin Wang is an American born Chinese, who seemingly wants one thing. To fit in." -- Wikipedia |
